Punch lists are easier to tackle when the walls are still open. Before drywall lands on site, the Rosewood team blocks off a morning with production leads, project managers, and trade partners to comb through the structure. That hour of focus keeps downstream trades on schedule and gives clients confidence that we have the details handled.
1. Verify the structural backbone
We double-check every hanger, ledger, and hold-down against the engineer’s notes. Laser levels confirm that walls are plumb, headers are crowned correctly, and stair openings line up with shop drawings. If something needs a tweak, we handle it now—not during finish carpentry.
2. Align mechanical rough-ins
We walk each room with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and low-voltage drawings in hand. Fixture heights are labeled, blocking is installed for accessories, and penetrations are sealed. Coordinating the rough-in elevations today saves drywall patches tomorrow.
3. Defend against moisture
Sill pans, window flashing, and exterior air barriers are inspected for continuity. We add gasketed boxes in humid zones and note any areas that need spray foam touch-ups. A tight envelope protects the investment once insulation and drywall go in.
4. Capture the future reference points
Detailed photos and measurements are uploaded to the project folder so clients and service techs know exactly where pipes, wires, and studs live. We tag shut-off valves and document dedicated circuits for future upgrades.
5. Invite clients to walk the space
Homeowners join us for the final lap so they can visualize cabinet runs, confirm outlet locations, and request last-minute adjustments. This collaborative moment builds trust and reduces change orders once the space is closed up.
Finishes get all the attention, but great remodels are made in the quiet checkpoints between phases. Our pre-drywall review keeps projects predictable, budgets intact, and crews proud of the craftsmanship hiding behind the paint.
